Genius

Robert Krulwich of Radiolab was recently awarded the Macarthur Genius grant. Bravo!

His most recent post on Krulich Wonders, an NPR blog, presents a beautiful and delicious meal. Complementary dishes for vegetarians and meat eaters, what Studiofeast calls their Doppleganger Dinner. Looks like something I could really get behind… Duck breast with celery and sweet potato vs. grilled watermelon with fennel and carrots.

Not only does this seem like a fun culinary exercise, it makes a statement about vegetarian diets. That doesn’t seem so bad in light of our expanding agricultural environmental footprint (more on that later).
